Drinking very well right now. Dried floral and spice nose. Dusty; soft tannins; flinty minerality; dried cherries, mahogany. Excellent paired with grilled lamb chops. Took about 30 mins. to open up and then stayed consistent over 2.5 hours.

Last bottle of a half case purchased several years ago, and by far the best. Did not seem nearly as hot and over-ripe as previous bottles. Full-bodied, silky and bursting with mouthwatering raspberry, plum and black cherry fruit. Finishes very long, with a lingering aftertaste of ripe, sweet fruit and spice. The tannins are velvety smooth. I am not a huge fan of Tempranillo, but this is very rich, complex and polished. A beautiful Ribera del Duero. 50+5+12+17+8=92

It has a vibrant scent with plenty of dark fruit. The palate is rich, complex and seductive with cherry, blackberry, coffee and cedar flavors. The ample tannins are smooth and supple. Overall, a beautiful wine.

Drinking very well. Dark fruit, some spice and still good tannins and a medium to long finish.
